Description
The mills occupied by George Brettle and Company Limited, located along the Chapel Street frontage, date back to 1834. This large stone building features a symmetrical classical facade and is bounded to the north by an 1834 building, which includes a northern rear wing, and to the south by a recessed, single-storey red brick building.
The structure is made of ashlar stone and has a slate roof, rising to three storeys. The end bays of the northern building each have three windows that are slightly advanced under a cornice. The central section has thirteen windows, mostly fixed lights, with some sashes that include glazing bars. There are angle piers, but no cornice in the centre. A segmental arched entrance with a keystone is located on the south side of the central section, next to a mounting block.
At the rear, the two-storey northern wing has a hipped slate roof and similar window styles, except for one round-arched ground floor window on the rear elevation. To the south of this wing is a two-storey, three-bay stone-faced section that features three round-arched windows with glazing bars, a parapet, and a red brick rear. Adjoining this to the south is a recessed single-storey red brick building from the earlier to mid-19th century, which has stone eaves and a hipped slate roof, along with nine arched windows that also have glazing bars.
Originally, the 1834 building served as a warehouse for the domestic framework knitting industry.
